Chapin is a vibrant community that creates an atmosphere where students thrive. Our faculty are equipping students with core academics, confidence, and flexibility to meet new challenges and opportunities in every grade, every year. All of us have an important role in helping our students establish life-long habits of mind and heart. It is the unwavering belief in the possibility of children that bring us together at Chapin.

Chapin depends on philanthropic support to fund the many programs and initiatives that distinguish our school. Giving is critical as tuition only covers a portion of the cost of educating each student at Chapin. There are many ways to support Chapin. Chapin, like most independent schools, relies on your gifts to the Chapin Fund, the school’s annual fund, to meet its annual operating expenses. Gifts to the endowment and other capital projects secure Chapin’s future.

Thank you to our parents, trustees, grandparents, alumni, faculty & staff, and friends for the many years of support!

To quote Theodore Roosevelt, "To educate a man in mind, but not in morals, is to create a menace to society."

This is why nearly 14 years ago, we chose to trust Chapin to more holistically educate all of our three children. It is more than just academic or professional achievements, it is the desire and effort to be a positive and caring contributor to their society that sets the Chapin kids apart from the rest.

I learned so much from my Chapin teachers.

Switching to a Chapin education was one of the best decisions my parents made. I am grateful every day for my teachers who helped form my foundation for education and life in and out of the classroom. Cheers to everyone at Chapin!
